Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Please be careful, Twist. We had two patients who tangled with cattle and came out on the short end of the prod. The first was an elderly man who was moving bulls between pens when he walked by a bull leading another and the bull he walked by took offense at the other bull being within eye range. The bull being lead went after the bull in the pen, gentleman leading bull got knocked down and the bull he was leading tap danced on his chest breaking all of his ribs and a lot of other bones.

The second was a man who had a cow in distress rear up and come down on his face with a hoof. Two surgeries later the orbit of his eye was back in one piece more or less but he had double vision for months afterwards. Tough on a surgeon. I saw him afterwards and all I could do even with almost 40 years of nursing under my belt was gasp clamp my hands over my mouth and mutter OH. MY. GOD!

It was at that moment I decided I never wanted to raise cattle on our land. Eat them, sure, raise them? Nope. No way.

BTW, Happy Thanksgiving to you also, Twist. Hope you and yours had a good one.

Twist you need to stay away from them yaks !!

I am and other then Sonny all my yaks are very "nice" and will warn you before charging or MOCK charging. They will snort and bob/nod their heads AND if you back up OR show them you have a "smacker" in your hands they "behave."

I dont know what to do w/ the thighs and legs. We normally dont eat dark meat. I was going to buy just the breast but it was the same price as the whole turkey

would be good in a turkey and dumplings OR try making turkey jerky out of it. I sent the white meat home with Vicki and then today she cooked her turkey and brought it over for be to de-bone it. I got the dark meat from her bird as well. YUM
